Zenity: Built for AI security, but not for M365
Zenity focuses on real-time threat detection, prompt injection defense, and observability for AI agents and low-code/no-code apps. It’s a solid option if your top priority is securing AI workflows across multiple platforms.
But Zenity falls short for Microsoft 365-centric organizations:
- It lacks native support for Microsoft 365 services like Teams, SharePoint, or Exchange.
- Governance automation across M365, Copilot, and Power Platform is limited.
- It prioritizes reactive security over proactive policy enforcement and compliance tracking.
- AvePoint pricing is bundled and lacks transparency
- Setup and configuration can be complex and slow
Rencore: Governance-first automation for Microsoft 365 and Copilot
Rencore Governance is purpose-built for Microsoft-first organizations that need more than just AI security. It offers deep, native integration across Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Copilot environments, enabling governance automation at scale.
Unlike Zenity’s security-focused approach, Rencore takes a governance-first stance.
- It automatically discovers risks across Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID, and other Microsoft services.
- It enforces custom policies across workspaces, applications, and agents.
- It automates cleanup, reporting, and lifecycle management from provisioning through to decommissioning.
With complete metadata visibility, cross-service insights, and compliance-ready dashboards for GDPR, ISO 27001, and NIS2, Rencore gives IT and compliance teams the control they need to scale governance efficiently and securely.
Customer feedback
Users value this balance of simplicity and power. One Capterra reviewer describes Rencore as “next level governance,” Highlighting that it is “very easy to set up, gives a full view on all governance-relevant data in Microsoft 365, and makes governance and operation much easier.” Zenity does not provide this level of coverage across the Microsoft ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I easily switch from Zenity to Rencore?
Yes. While the Zenity software focuses on AI agent security, Rencore supports Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Copilot out of the box. Our team helps you map existing security policies to automated governance templates in Rencore.
What are the main advantages of Rencore compared to Zenity?
Rencore provides full governance automation, not just AI security. That means deeper visibility, policy enforcement, and compliance controls across the Microsoft ecosystem. Zenity is strong on threat detection, but lacks governance depth and M365 coverage.
Does Rencore help secure Copilot and Power Platform apps like Zenity?
Yes, and more. Rencore supports Copilot, Copilot Studio, and all Power Platform services (Apps, Flows, BI). Unlike Zenity, it also includes governance for collaboration tools like Teams, OneDrive, Exchange, and Viva. This makes it the most complete solution for Microsoft-first organizations.
What should I know about Zenity pricing compared to Rencore?
Zenity does not publish pricing publicly. Costs typically depend on the number of users, AI agent volume, and deployment complexity, and are usually provided on request. Rencore offers transparent pricing plans tailored to Microsoft 365 governance needs. See all Rencore pricing tiers.
